John participated in a hike up Snowden which Linda helped organise in memory of their son Andrew Blow who died while playing football for his University Hall of Residence football team on May 10th 1998.

The climb was blessed with good weather and so successful that John hopes to do it again.

John and Linda were overwhelmed by everyone’s kindness. Special thanks to the Dry family and friends, David Titchfield, Dave and Sylvia Francis, John Highton and Mike and Andrew Glover for their fantastic support by donated sponsorship of £1,000 when John told them that 5 members of staff had participated. This money came from a Community Award Scheme run by the company.

Over £3,000 was raised from the hike to go towards a mobile screening in Andrew’s memory.
